Indie developer Marc Lou announced he has reached $5M in net worth, with over 90% of the startup value coming from just two of his 36 projects: DataFast and TrustMRR, plus S&P 500 investments and cash.
He highlights that he got there at 33 without ever working more than 8 hours a day, working for someone else, or doing work he dislikes — a notable data point for the one-person-company community.
